The vibrant city of Mumbai, home to over 12 Million people, is the financial capital of the country. In order to improve the quality of life, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) wishes to improve the basic infrastructure.The city has seen a significant increase in the private vehicles over last few years. It has become increasingly difficult for citizens to find public parking places while they are on the move. In order to ease the parking woes of the citizens, MCGM proposes to adopt and implement a new parking policy. The new parking policy elaborates on-street parking (residential parking, parking near schools, and parking for tourist places) and off-street parking. Moreover, MCGM also envisages web based parking to be implemented and issue receipts using hand held devices.

As a pilot project, it is proposed to implement the parking policy in ‘A’ ward after receiving the necessary approvals.

Suggestions are invited from the public at large for improvement of the proposed policy.

The draft policy can be seen here: https://mygov.in/frontendgeneral/pdf/parking-policy-20122014.pdf

All 7.5 MN daily travelers of Mumbai can pay in advance if this is presented as a business opportunity. Govt. gave Reliance a chance to invest in Mumbai Metro, and now Reliance is making money out of travelers. Govt. should give the travelers of Mumbai a fair chance to own stocks of high speed train network. every investor gets X number of train rides. Mumbai can raise easily 20 BN USD within no time. Be creative folks.

If people from Vasai can travel to Churchgate in 20 mins, and from Andheri to Cgate in 10 mins, people will save lot more time. We will have more time with families and kids and friends. More opportunities for people to interact and socializing. More tourism growth will happen. Extra cars in Mumbai will be used by tourists. The city and its people become richer and happier. Goal should be Churchgate to Vasai in 20 mins. Let this be done in 6 months.

China Built Shanghai to Beijing - Distance almost 1500 KM - 3 Years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvytUaRs2dU The distance from Churchgate to Vasai - 100 KM - Built high speed trains within 3 to 6 months. Create hub and spoke model. How to raise funds: 1. Sell prepaid tickets for next 5 or 10 or 15 years. 2. Treat a part of pre-paid ticket payment as investment. 3. All prepaid tickets thus will pay a nominal maintenance fee every time they travel.

Need a holistic Policy: 1. Make ownership of multiple cars in the family expensive. 2. Make entry on various roads chargeable. 3. All BEST BUS HUBS should be converted to multi-layer parking & hawking lots. 4. Remove all hawking from road side. Irrespective of political gimmicks. 5. Encourage HUB & SPOKE model of transportation. 6. Remove encroachments by people or those under the garb of by religious facade. 7. Announce a time bound policy. 8. Clean up functioning of BMC.

To avoid parking problems, congestion and pollution, we need to put limitations of vehicle per family. If anyone who crosses the limitation they need to pay extra road tax etc... Particularly for parking problem we need to build MULTI level parkings where needed.

Last mile connectivity and comfort are deciding factors in commuters choosing own transport over public transport. Hence, 2-pronged strategy suggested: 1.Encourage public/shared transport modes for all categories of commuters: Provide mini buses(AC+ Non-AC), more 3-wheelers (encourage battery operated in due course)from Rly/Metro/Bus depots to all residential/commercial areas. 2. Discourage pvt vehicles by barring entry/stiff parking charges/fines to crowded places/business districts.

Rotating high rise Car Parks can solve the problem soonest. Also, experts can work out on simple ideas like : a. All driving schools can be given dedicated zones and timings b. Time bound Car Park fees, like in Dubai, will eliminate unnecessary Car Park for whole day and will encourage people to use Public Transport c. Special entry charges for vehicles in congested areas during Peak Time (Like Singapore). It will eliminate a lot of private traffic on roads
